Heat Map of the Homeless - Can You Say Big Brother?
Can You Say Big Brother?

Cartifact, a business mapping company, has launched a heat map of the homeless for downtown LA.  The map can be used to track the shifts in the homeless population.  I’m sure they’ve thought of a legitimate purpose (perhaps awareness)... But there’s something a little big-brother about this one. 

Downtown Los Angeles is the epicenter of the largest homeless population in the United States. The Downtown Los Angeles Homeless Map takes raw data about those sleeping on the streets and transforms it into a visual tool for understanding the situation. (boingboing.net)
